BEHEMOTH has been carving out their claim as one of the world's top extreme/black metal bands since their inception in 1991. That claim was solidified in 2014 with the release of the band's tenth album,The Satanist. The record marked their triumphant return following front man Adam "Nergal" Darski's battle with Leukemia. "The Satanist is magic. It's dangerous. It's adventurous, and it's organic," states Nergal. While instantly recognizable as the work of the Polish blackened death quartet, it takes their sound in previously unimagined and riveting directions. A writhing, densely layered, brutally violent and sinister record, it is quite unlike anything ever unleashed within the canon of heavy music. As such it demands attention, offering ever greater sonic and emotional depths with every listen. This is evident in the band's videos for the title track, as well as "Messe Noir" and "Ben Sahar." Nergal continues, "You may hear the title and think it's very primitive and one-dimensional, and yes it is, but when you look beyond that it's as primitive as it is complex and multidimensional, and that applies to everything about the record."

The Satanist debuted at #34 on the Billboard Top 200 chart in the United States. In their home country of Poland, the album became their second consecutive #1 debut, along with 2009's Evangelion. Since the release of The Satanist, BEHEMOTH has published their official biography Behemoth: Devil's Conquistadors as well as Nergal's own biography, Confessions Of A Heretic: The Sacred And The Profane: Behemoth And Beyond. The books are available worldwide now.
